The heck with all of these tropical islands and foreign travel visas that a good number of honeymooners shell out thousands and thousands of dollars for, I'm stickin to the mainland and headed for Phoenix, AZ in December.
One factor is that it's my "perfect summer" (60's-70's) weather climate. A second factor is I actually have a few friends in the area which would be bonus to see again. 3 folks that I used to play in a band with from church moved back home to Phoenix. Also, Ryd's was in Tempe last I knew...but that might have changed (i'm a bad friend and haven't been keeping track).
The greatest part about this entire trip is that it's a complete suprise for Rachel. I'm not telling her where we are going till it's time to go. Though it's almost torcherous in nature because she hates being left in suspense. There's only one friend that I know that supports me in my descission to keep this from her.
And EVERYONE can't understand that just because I don't want to be in a tuxedo, doesn't mean what I'll be wearing will be completely tasteless...ugh. i understand this is a SUPER SPECIAL DAY, but don't I have a say in how comfortable I am for it?? Of course this is her side of the family who doesn't know me so they don't know that I do actually have conservative, yet unique tastes. I'm pig headed, not a pig.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAnyways, there's a brief update. Please pray that I don't say anything that will get me in trouble, cause I have a short temper when it comes to people telling me what to do.
thanks! Loves!!
